Angela meets Paul Larsen, a former triathlete and expert in high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and fat metabolism, who shares his journey from competitive sports to academia, detailing his extensive research and work with Olympic programs in Australia and New Zealand.
Together they examine the importance of understanding training stress versus life stress, the benefits of zone 2 training for recovery and fat metabolism, and how wearable technology can optimise training plans
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The heart rate zones are crucial for optimising training. Zone 2, calculated as 180 minus your age, is essential for enhancing fat metabolism and overall endurance. It's important to avoid spending too much time in Zone 3, as it can lead to increased cortisol levels and hinder fat loss.
Engaging in low-intensity activities, such as walking, can significantly improve recovery, enhance fat metabolism, and support overall health. These activities help balance the nervous system and promote better sleep.
HIIT involves longer intervals (2-5 minutes) that improve cardiovascular fitness and VO2 max, while SIT consists of short, maximal efforts (20-40 seconds) that recruit fast-twitch muscle fibres and enhance mitochondrial density.
Both training stress and life stress impact heart rate variability and overall health. Managing life stressors is crucial for maintaining a healthy metabolic state, as high stress can lead to increased insulin levels and central adiposity.
BEST MOMENTS
"It's always the context over the content. Every person listening here is a little bit different."
"The heart rate variability is a surrogate of the status of the balance of the nervous system."
"If you can just get out there, get out the door, and do just what you said, you'll get quite a bit."
"Zone three gets some general bad rap because it's so easy for us to kind of move into this one."

Angela is joined by Dr Morgan Nolte, a geriatric physical therapist, to explore the critical topic of insulin resistance and its widespread impact on health.
Dr Nolte shares her journey from traditional physical therapy to focusing on disease prevention, emphasising the importance of understanding insulin's role in blood sugar regulation. She also delves into the differences between insulin resistance, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes, highlighting the often-overlooked significance of fasting insulin levels
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Insulin Resistance Basics: Insulin regulates blood sugar, but chronic high levels lead to resistance, increasing risks of type 2 diabetes, obesity, and other chronic conditions. Early Warning Signs: Indicators like high blood pressure, skin tags, fatigue, and cravings may hint at underlying insulin resistance even before blood sugar levels rise. Lifestyle is Key: Adopting a low-carb, high-protein diet, engaging in strength training, walking post-meals, and managing stress and sleep can reverse insulin resistance. Testing Matters: Fasting insulin and HOMA-IR are better indicators of insulin resistance than traditional glucose and HbA1c tests.TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS
0:05 – Insulin resistance as a silent threat. 2:55 – Dr. Nolte's transition from geriatric PT to disease prevention. 4:19 – Understanding insulin, glucose, and their roles in the body. 9:39 – The importance of fasting insulin and HOMA-IR testing. 12:09 – Progression from insulin resistance to type 2 diabetes. 16:09 – Early signs of insulin resistance, like skin tags and high BP. 22:43 – Diet strategies: prioritising protein and reducing carbs. 38:42 – Exercise tips: strength training and post-meal walking. 46:46 – Impact of stress and sleep on insulin resistance. 52:15 – Resources: Dr. Nolte's programs, YouTube, and podcast.VALUABLE RESOURCES

Angela is joined by Finnian Kelly, who shares his transformative journey from a life driven by hustle and external validation to one focused on personal mastery and intentional living.
Finnian discusses the importance of grounding oneself in feelings rather than outcomes, emphasising that true fulfilment comes from within, as well as exploring the concept of belief loops and how our subconscious shapes our experiences, particularly in relationships and financial abundance.
MAIN TAKEAWAYS
Internal Alignment Over External Validation: True fulfillment and success come from within, and external achievements are merely reflections of your internal state. Focusing on internal alignment helps you find peace and satisfaction.
Intentional Living Leads to Mastery: Living with intentionality, where feelings come first, can lead to deeper fulfillment and personal mastery. Aligning actions with desired feelings allows for a more purposeful and fulfilling life.
Manifestation Requires Clarity and Belief: Manifesting desired outcomes is a disciplined practice involving clarity, belief, and intention. Trust in the unseen and act as if your desired reality is already happening to bring it into existence.
Breath Work as a Powerful Tool: Breath work helps access the subconscious mind and regulate energy throughout the day. It can be used to clear negative emotions, find alignment, and connect to your true self.
Reprogramming Negative Belief Loops: Negative patterns and behaviors are rooted in subconscious belief loops. By bringing awareness to these patterns and feeling through them, you can reprogram your mind and create new, positive outcomes.

ABOUT THE GUEST
Tina Anderson’s journey into the world of health had a unique start and some unusual turns. She began her career as a trial lawyer who specialized in settling cases by bringing both sides together, a personal passion of hers. Once her second child arrived, Tina left that high-stress job behind so she could focus on her family. Luckily, she was still able to use her considerable legal skills to point her career in a new direction as the in-house counsel for a family pharmaceutical company. But what Tina saw there made her change direction again. Frustrated by the many abuses in the pharmaceutical industry, Tina turned toward the field of natural health, and found her life’s work. She channeled her energy into learning all she could about disease prevention and good health maintenance. That led her to discover the importance of gut health and how connected and crucial it is for overall health and wellness. To share her discovery with the world, Tina along with her husband created a unique supplement that contains the superior probiotic strains of renowned researcher Dr. Simon Cutting. By promoting gut health and probiotics, Tina shares her passion for wellness, helping others live their best physical and emotional lives.
